The Casentino Valley is a green oasis between Florence and Arezzo, closed in on the northern side by the Apennines Mountains and crossed by the Arno River. It's a land that lived the century old disputes among rival communes, the most famous one being Campaldino, narrated by Dante Alighieri in the Divine Commedia. It's a legendary land rich with castles and medieval villages. Among them is Poppi, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy whose character preserves the fascination of hidden Italy.
Nearby are found the National Casentino Forest and the first wholly European Animal Reserve of Sasso Fratino, places of silence and peace where Saint Francis of Assisi lived a deeply spiritual life with nature on the Mount of La Verna and Saint Romuald in the Camaldoli Hermitage.
The National Casentino Forest encompasses very well conserved forests of remarkable naturalistic interest, making it an ideal center for walks and trekking. The Reserve is home to wild animals like wolves, red deer, wild boars and eagles.
